World Languages & Cultures
RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Your advising needs are important to us in this time of transition to online learning. The Department of World Languages and Cultures in the College of Humanities has a number of options in place to ensure full access to academic advising through phone or video appointments.
If you need to meet with an advisor, please visit our appointment directory. Once you’ve scheduled a phone or virtual appointment, be sure to set up a FERPA pin in CIS. Your advisor will need to verify your identity before being able to discuss your academic records by phone or video. Please reach out to us if the move to an online format impacts your access to food or housing, puts you in a vulnerable position, or if you are feeling stress around your health and the ongoing coronavirus situation.
